Viscaria: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Viscaria is a 2006-founded Swedish exploration firm. The Company purchased the Viscaria deposit in Kiruna in 2019 and altered its strategy as a result. The reopening of the Viscaria mine is part of a larger plan to transform the firm into a contemporary, responsible producer. The high copper content of the deposit, as well as its geographic location, create excellent conditions for becoming a significant supplier of high-quality, responsibly produced copper to clients who are leading the worldwide transition to an electric society. Copperstone holds numerous Exploitation Concessions and Exploration Permits in Arvidsjaur (Eva, Svartliden, Granliden) and Smedjebacken, in addition to the Viscaria mine (Tvistbogruvan). Copperstone is found in three of Sweden's most important mining areas.

About FundedIQ's Viscaria Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Viscaria is left off this page rather than filled in.
